“Hello, this is Oliver Benson.”“Um, yes. Hi, I’m Jaq.”The quiet, shaky voice definitely not matching the guy name caught me off guard. “Jack?”“Well, yes but with a Q.”“What can I do for you, Jaq with a Q?”“I’m not sure if I have the right guy. Ollie Benson, that’s all I really have to go on.”A brief memory touched my mind of my dad calling me Ollie as a boy. I hadn’t been Ollie in many years. Nonetheless, I asked, “What is it that you need done?”“I don’t want to get into trouble. How do I know you’re not a cop?”My head jolted a little with a startled surprise, but I continued, curious of what illegal transaction she was interested in pursuing. “You don’t, but you are wasting my time. Maybe I can point you in the right direction, but first you have to tell me what you’re looking for.”“Well, I, I, I’m looking for someone to like, like get rid of someone.”I sputtered hot coffee from my lips, choking on her words. That’s not what I was expecting. Heroine or meth maybe, not that. “You want to hire a hitman? You want to kill someone?”

“Well, no. I want someone to kill me.”
